Legend Zero Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Title says it all. There are some member's who others feel cross this line but what are we to do. As of now we have 2 steps in this process. 1. Try and tell them nicely to stop (if the refuse and/or continue) 2. Insult them until they stop A new system of status bar [b]reporting[/b] and [b]Mod action[/b] would be just nifty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desu the Blue Nerd Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I've also tried just ignoring them and hopefully the lack of attention would make them stop. Spammers spam eachother's status though so that didn't go to well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The problem is what is spamming and what isn't? In general you can't spam the status bar any more then you can spam the forum, but do to it's unrestricted nature most things would be acceptable to post in the status bar. I for one don't think posting song lyrics is spam but I've seen people complain about it. At the above post talking about losing the ability to advertise threads clearly they don't think that's spam but I know some people do. The status bar is built to simply say what's on your mind and that leaves the door open for A LOT of things. So please tell me, what would you say is spam out side of people just posting neijnmvhjgrdnkvnefhjkdsnamifjerlmsaodipkeowqlq[pkiqpo,elk, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Spam is usually something that doesn't fit the context of the Status Bar such as those ultra annoying Twitter Facebook updates with potential bad Links. Also when people post a Status Update when their previous one has not even left the main list yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTW (For The Wynn) Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Indeed. Although, tbh, with help from King, I tested out the point thing. The status bar gives minimal points if any, but profile posts give 90 or so points per post. It definitely needs shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
